Got 405 on deadlift today, personal best. Don't use belts for deadlift anymore, fine without it. Also the program I posted a while back was Greg Plitt's MFT28. Did it for two days with my friend who is trying to shed some el bees. I think the program is horseshit, just way too much. Worked out for 3 hours on chest day and still didn't get everything, definitely over training, program is ideal for the unemployed. My friend's going to stick with it apparently.

That has to be the most ridiculous program I've ever seen. Blows my mind that this shit still gets put out.

You can't deny that the mainstream bodybuilding / fitness industry is good at fooling people. No wonder people don't see any results when they do stuff like that.

I'm cooking all day. Got 2lbs of grassfed flank steak in the crockpot with pepperoncini peppers, got a chicken curry going in the oven, 6 homemade bagels fermenting in the fridge, and gonna cold brew some coffee for the week.

i dont know about lifts being preserved but i looked way better when doing high volume with lower weights when cutting.

conventional e-lifting wisdom says stick with low volume when cutting, but IME big strong lifts that you need to get psyched up for are what drain me and impede progress, even moreso on a deficit. cruising through some 3x10, 3x10, 3x10 is a little easier on the brain and a little nicer in the mirror.

Is this truth? Will lifts be better preserved on a cut by a low volume / high weight routine vs. higher volume / lower weight? It feels like the latter might at least result in better physique.

I think the best results will come from utilizing both, I'm cutting now and I'm keeping all big compound lifts 5x5 with heavier weight, squats, deadlifr, bench and OHP, then I'm doing 3x8-10 with accesories at a lighter weight
